ROMANS 4:3. “For what saith the scripture? ‘Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.’” ABRAHAM. He must have pleased Thee a lot, O God – When he heard Thy voice saying leave this place. In faith he took all he had – and Lot, And went out, trusting Thee alone to set his pace.
And from then until now, those who live by faith – Look to Abraham and the righteousness imputed – To give us assurance that God, by grace – Accepts us on the faith-base, not laws concluded.
We are people of promises, made by God who cannot lie – Living by faith as we move day by day To the place God assures us we will reach by and by As we draw closer to the land of fadeless day.
Abraham’s example as he obeyed God’s Word, Tells me to live by faith and not by law – Simply trusting in the sure hope of the Lord – I have learned by Abraham’s faith, the father of us all.
“May I never underestimate, Father God, the value of the examples of those who have gone before. Whether it be the faith of an ancient man like Abraham, or of my own father, give me the desire and willingness to live as they did – even though I do not know what will happen between now and heaven. I pray in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
